Appian delivers “enterprise-ready” AI in new platform release

Appian is delivering “enterprise-ready” artificial intelligence (AI) in its new platform release. The process automation giant announced enhancements that help organizations work smarter with faster insights, greater scalability and more secure AI access.

Key updates include AI-powered semantic smart search, Appian AI availability for self-managed and FedRAMP environments, automatic data fabric scaling and Process HQ reports that embed directly into sites.

Earlier this month, Appian announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, showcasing significant growth in cloud subscriptions and overall revenue. The vendor attributed its robust performance to the successful implementation of Appian AI.

Appian delivers “enterprise-ready”

“This release makes it easier for all organizations, including our government customers, to securely leverage enterprise-grade AI,” said Michael Beckley, chief technology officer at Appian. “We’re delivering AI with guardrails and transparency, without compromising on security or control.”

Smart search and AI availability

Appian’s enhanced AI smart search delivers results based on user intent, not just keywords, according to a press release. Its semantic capabilities, paired with access to millions of data records and documents connected by Appian’s data fabric, enable it to provide better, more precise results to support user queries, related case matching and intelligent agent actions, Appian stated.

What’s more, all Appian AI features are now available for self-managed and FedRAMP environments, giving all customers, including those in the public sector, full access to secure, enterprise-grade AI.

Data fabric autoscaling

Appian’s data fabric unifies data from multiple enterprise systems into a single, secure model. With the latest release, high-throughput queries now scale automatically to meet the demands of growing organizations. This autoscaling capability boosts performance without the need for manual tuning, simplifying development and minimizing risk in high-volume scenarios.

Additionally, new asynchronous interface loading improves app responsiveness by loading slower data in the background, delivering faster, smoother user experiences even in complex, data-rich applications.

Process HQ reporting

With Process HQ enhancements, users can now embed reports and dashboards directly into Appian Sites, making it easier to share insights without leaving the site or relying on IT support. The release also introduces configurable drilldown reports, allowing users to explore enterprise data from multiple angles and access deeper insights with a single click.

AI-powered process optimization in action

“We’ve improved our quoting, claims and underwriting processes through AI-powered process optimization,” said Sheila Evans, chief product and solutions officer at MagMutual. “Using Process HQ to identify bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement, powered by Appian’s generative AI capabilities, I see tremendous opportunity to help us continue delivering on our strategic plans.”
